Production Logos

Background

Walt Disney Pictures (branded and credited as simply Disney since 2011) is The Walt Disney Company's flagship producer of live-action feature films, based at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. Animated films produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, and the former DisneyToon Studios are also released under this banner. Originally formed as the live-action film division of Walt Disney Productions (now the Walt Disney Company) in 1983, today it is one of Hollywood's "Big Five" studios, alongside Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Pictures. Its films are distributed through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (known as Buena Vista Pictures Distribution until 2007).

1983 version
Return to Oz version
1991 version, orange
1991 version, white
1993 version
1993 version with "Presents"

Logo: Just text reading "WALT DISNEY PICTURES", but applied differently depending on the movie.

Variants:

Typically, the text (in blue, orange, or white) is against a black background.
Return to Oz features the "WALT DiSNEY" script logo in green (and is the first to do so), on a space-like background.
Never Cry Wolf and pre-theatrical versions of Splash have the text in a blue rectangular box with a white outline around it.
On Squanto: A Warrior's Tale, the word "presents" fades in below the logo.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the film or none.

Availability: Seen on some Disney movies from the era.

Used on live-action films, often to denote more serious, older-skewing fare, and was sometimes preceded or plastered by the 1985 logo. However, it returned on trailers in 1990, which all use the next logo instead.
This also appears at the beginning of Squanto: A Warrior's Tale and Mighty Joe Young (the next logo at the end on the former, and appears on trailers and TV spots for the latter).

Seventh flag version

Logo: On a blue background, a shower of light descends from the top of the screen, forming a stylized, segmented Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty castle. The segments seem to be spaced farther apart by the time the light reaches the bottom. Through the main gate of the castle, a white ball of light forms, then extends out to form the words "WALT DiSNEY" in the familiar corporate font. The word "PICTURES" (in Lubalin Graph Book) fades in underneath. A ray of light then draws a circular line over the castle. Three main variants of this exist:

June 21, 1985-November 17, 1989: The castle has a lavender/white gradient, and the background is indigo. However, some prints of The Black Cauldron show the castle in pure white.
- Some versions of this variant show the castle with a light blue/white gradient. In this variant, the semi-circular line is drawn all the way to the bottom left. Also, there is a pause after the initial glow before the shower of light descends, and the flash from the castle gate starts immediately after the castle has been formed.
March 21, 1990-April 14, 2006: The castle is now sky blue, and the background is in a deep shade of blue. Also, the semi-circular line now ends just above the "W" in "WALT DiSNEY".
February 15, 2002-December 12, 2006: Same as the 1990 variant, but a seventh flag is added to the castle. This variant appeared exclusively on films produced by DisneyToon Studios.

Alternate Descriptive Video Description: On a blue background, a glowing pinpoint of light arc over the outline of a castle with spires and flags. Words appear in a flash. Walt Disney Pictures.

Trivia:

The castle seen in this logo was actually first used by Disneyland in 1985 to promote the theme park's 30th anniversary.
Although Disney switched its newer animated movies from traditional cel animation to digital ink-and-paint via CAPS (Computer Animation Production System) in 1990, the cel-animated version of this logo continued to be used until at least mid-2005, even though two digitally animated versions debuted in 1994 and 2002, respectively.
In 102 Dalmatians, the logo's music was played during a scene where the dalmatians and Waddlesworth (voiced by Eric Idle) began watching Lady and the Tramp on VHS, in which it's the 1998 print of the film, as Kevin (played by Ioan Gruffudd) and Clohe (played by Alice Evans) head to Tony's Restaurant for dinner.
This logo was revived in 2021 as part of a merchandising line for ShopDisney, based on its original incarnation.

Variants:

The size of the logo may vary.
The traditional ink-and-paint version of this logo was used from 1985 to 2005, whereas the digital ink-and-paint version was used from 1994 to 2006.
There is a variation used from 1994 to 2006, in which the light forming the castle and the curved line's reflection are a little transparent, the flash forming the words "WALT DiSNEY" is a little brighter, and the word "PICTURES" fades in more quickly.
There is another variation which has a lower frame rate for most of the animation except the line drawing over the castle, which has smoother animation. A more refined version of this variant debuted in 1991.
When classic Disney shorts were re-released in the 1990s, the text "A FULLY RESTORED ORIGINAL/ANIMATED CLASSIC", in the font used for "PICTURES", is shown before the logo. On The Old Mill, the text reads "A FULLY RESTORED ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ANIMATED CLASSIC", with a drawing of an Oscar statue to the left and copyright for the AMPAS on the bottom.
There is a variant in which the flash that forms the "WALT DiSNEY" text is a little slower and is shaped like an oval. The arc above the castle is slightly larger than normal as well. This can be found on 101 Dalmatians (1996), the widescreen version of Lady and the Tramp (1998 WDMC release), Endurance, and the 2004 release of Mary Poppins, plastering the Buena Vista logo.
A short version also appeared on very early Touchstone Home Video releases.
The original 1988 print of Oliver & Company uses the 1985 variant of the logo, while the 1996 video release uses the 1990 variant.
There's an even shorter version that starts after the text is formed. This can be seen on mid-2000s releases of some classic films, plastering the RKO and Buena Vista logos. This strangely (and silently) appears on post-2006 prints of Lady and the Tramp and the 2007 print of The Jungle Book before the Buena Vista logo.
There is a variant in which the "WALT DiSNEY" text has a drop shadow. It is unclear whether this is a result of film deterioration or distortion, or if this was indeed an actual variant.
A variation of the logo as a still image can be found at the end of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and on 1990s re-releases of some 1940s-1950s Disney cartoons, plastering the 1953 Buena Vista logo.
On a few 2003-2006 animated films and The Shaggy Dog (as a variant), "PICTURES" appears with the script instead of fading in after.
On the Disney+ print of the 1940 adaptation of Swiss Family Robinson, the 1990 version of this logo is in black and white.
On the 1996 UK VHS release of Pocahontas, the entire logo is still while the line above the castle glows.

Closing Variant: Either the full animation plays, or the logo fades in when the "WALT DiSNEY" text is formed.

Technique: Traditional animation, done by the animation division of Walt Disney Productions (now Walt Disney Animation Studios). It is unknown whether the digital variants were produced on Sun 3, Silicon Graphics IRIS 31XX, or DEC MicroVAX II computers (all three of which were preferred terminals for CAPS according to this patent).

Music/Sounds: A rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star", originally from Pinocchio. It opens with a synthesized chorus and a quiet brass rendition of the song's first bar, with sparkles evoking pixie dust, followed by an uprising flute and a reversed cymbal crash, then a full orchestral finish of the song's first bar, ending with a synthesizer. This was arranged by John Debney.

Music/Sounds Variants:

The original version of the fanfare was used from 1985 to 1990, and was enhanced or re-recorded in 1990.
There exist some re-orchestrated variants of the fanfare:
- A version exists with the choir mixed in for the short variant. Some late 1980s theatrical trailers have a voice-over saying "From the name that means magic in entertainment".
- The theme is re-orchestrated in a dramatically different key on 1994's White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf. This version was also arranged by John Debney.
- Some films use a more dramatic re-orchestration.
- The short Runaway Brain has it sounding more like the 1987 Walt Disney Television theme and the White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf variant.
Sometimes the logo is silent or has the opening/ending theme of the film.
On some 1980s trailers, an entirely different epic sounding fanfare is heard.
Some films have the music off-sync with the logo's animation.
On some films, the film's opening score incorporates the first few bars of "When You Wish Upon a Star" when the logo appears.
On re-releases of Disney animated shorts in the 1990s, the logo is silent until the end, when the 1950s Buena Vista music is heard.
On one print of Old Yeller, the film's custom Buena Vista fanfare is heard over the end of the logo due to a plastering error.
On the 2003 DVD of The Rescuers, a thunderclap is heard at the end of the logo. This is because the film originally had the Buena Vista logo at the start, but on the 1999 VHS of said film, the logo is silent.
On the 2002 Brazilian VHS of Sleeping Beauty, the first part of the logo is silent. The second half of the logo, along with the film's variation of the Buena Vista logo, had the logo's music play. This is mostly due to an editing error.
On the 1996 UK VHS release of Pocahontas, the normal audio is replaced by John Sachs saying, "Keep watching after the Pocahontas feature for an exclusive preview of Disney's 34th animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
On foreign dubs of The Black Cauldron produced after 1997 or 1998, the 1990 re-recording fanfare was used, while others, mostly from their original theatrical release such as the Latin American Spanish and Dutch dubs, the original 1985 mix was used.

Availability: Common.

This was seen on most films from the studio released between 1985 and 2006, and was used in tandem with the next logo until December 12, 2006. For a while it became harder to find due to extensive plastering, but it isn't too hard to spot nowadays.
- The shortened 1985 version without music debuted on Return to Oz; while the full version with music debuted on The Black Cauldron and made its last appearance on original prints of The Little Mermaid (1989).
- The 1990 version debuted on Taran and the Magic Cauldron (cancelled re-release of The Black Cauldron) and made its final appearance (albeit as a variant) on The Shaggy Dog (2006); it made its final closing appearance on The Wild.
- The 2002 version debuted on Return to Never Land and made its final appearance at the end of The Fox and the Hound 2.
Starting in the late 1980s, it was also used on newer prints of classic films, among others.
It was seen on trailers for Toy Story as well, but the film itself uses the 4th logo (plastered by the 6th logo on current prints). However, it does appear on the 2000 DTV film Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.
It also appeared on pre-2002 prints of The Lion King, as the 2002 IMAX version uses the 5th logo (the original 1995 VHS preserves this logo, however).
While most recent prints of classic films use the 6th logo, it is strangely seen on the 2008 release of The Aristocats, the Diamond Edition DVD of Lady and the Tramp, and the Bambi: The Story Behind the Story feature on the DE DVD of Bambi (with the RKO Pictures custom theme playing underneath). However, some airings of certain pre-2006 movies still use this logo.
The 1985 version of the logo also appears on some foreign Blu-ray releases and a SYFY UK 2020 airing of Flight of the Navigator (1986), including a German release from Splendid Entertainment and the 2012 and 2019 releases from Second Sight Films, which presumably use US prints as Disney does not hold video rights overseas.
The restored version of this logo was seen on the 2014 reissue of the Netflix print of Hercules, while the other prints use the 6th logo, and on the page on the Herbie: Fully Loaded opening credits on the website of yU+co, the designer of the 2006 logo.
When the Disney+ streaming service launched, the 1990 version of this logo made a surprise appearance (in black and white) preceding the RKO logo on current prints of the 1940 adaptation of Swiss Family Robinson, which Walt Disney acquired around the time he produced his own, more well-known adaptation in 1960.
The lower-framerate variant was featured on the 1991 theatrical re-release and Walt Disney Classics VHS of 101 Dalmatians, as well as several other WDC tapes. It was also seen at the end of the 1991 Australian VHS of Fantasia.
Also appeared on the 2017 UK theatrical re-release of The Muppet Christmas Carol, due to it being re-released by Park Circus and not Disney themselves.
Many recent prints of the company's core titles (both TV and home media) have plastered this with the 2006 logo, but it is still intact on older home media and newer prints of its lesser-known films. However, thanks to the launch of Disney+, this logo became a bit easier to find, as many films on the service preserve their original logos, even those using variants.
For reasons unknown, this logo does not appear on Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (the sequel has the logo, but as a variant), Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, nor Atlantisː Milo's Return.

Legacy: Easily one of the most beloved logos out there, due to its longevity and presence at the front of a myriad of classic films.

3rd Logo (Return to Snowy River ending custom variant) (April 15, 1988)

Logo: On a black/navy blue gradient background, the regular "WALT DiSNEY" script, in a textured baby blue hue, writes itself onscreen (just like the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo). The word "PICTURES" fades in below the script in a Times font, with each of the letters spaced out. A dot of light appears below the script and extends to form a line between the script and text.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Ultra rare. Only appeared at the end of Return to Snowy River, as the previous logo appears at the beginning. Also seen on a TV spot for said film.

4th Logo (Pixar custom variant) (November 22, 1995-June 29, 2007)

Open matte version
Regular version
Scope version
Workprint variant
Slightly stretched variant, taken directly from the Malaysian VCD of The Incredibles.
Filmed version

Logo: On a blue background, the camera flies out through the gate of a CGI castle (in silver and light blue), with flags waving on the top. When the camera zooms out, the logo proceeds as normal, but the "WALT DiSNEY" text is more three-dimensional, and the ball of light drawing the line over the castle is a bit slower-paced and drops what seems to be pixie dust.

Alternate Descriptive Video Description:

On a blue background, our view pulls back through the center gate of a castle with spires and flags. Words appear in a flash, Walt Disney Pictures. A glowing pinpoint of light arcs over the castle.
On a blue background, a glowing pinpoint of light arcs over a three-dimensional castle with spires and flags. Words appear in a flash, Walt Disney Pictures.

Variants:

On original prints of Toy Story, the logo zooms out to reveal Andy's room once the ball of light finishes drawing the line over the castle. On the original VHS and VCD release, the logo is blue-tinted and filmed.
Sometimes, the logo is shortened to when the arc is formed over the castle.
On the Malaysian VCD of The Incredibles, the logo is slightly stretched horizontally, along with the Pixar logo and the opening interviews, except for the last one with Elastigirl.

Closing Variant: The full animation as transcribed above, albeit onscreen for a few more seconds.

Technique: CGI by Pixar themselves, who also animated their own logo. As with other works they did at the time, this was animated on a Silicon Graphics Indigo2 Extreme and rendered on a farm made of Sun SPARCstation 20 units.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic/majestic fanfare composed by Randy Newman, based on "Andy's Birthday" from the Toy Story soundtrack. Sometimes, the theme trails into the Pixar logo.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On the Toy Story variant, a more bombastic version of the fanfare is used, and once the line finishes being drawn over the castle by the ball of light, only the rest of the notes to the third to last note of the fanfare play, with the last two notes played on a trumpet, seguing into the opening theme.
- It was even included on both the original soundtrack of the film (on the track "Andy's Birthday") and on The Legacy Collection complete score album (as the track "Opening").
- Later, post-2009 prints kept the two trumpet notes from the logo's score that segues into the opening scene, following the Pixar logo.
An early workprint version of A Bug's Life uses the music from the 2nd logo.
Sometimes, the opening theme of the movie is used instead.
On original prints of Cars, the fanfare is re-orchestrated to put a little more of the logo in at the same duration of the logo's closing re-appearance.
On the closing variant, we hear flapping flags and the sound of pixie dust as the ball of light draws the line over the castle. Sometimes, the ending theme of the film is used instead.

Availability: This was common during its usage, but it's uncommon nowadays, due to mostly being plastered with the 6th logo.

It was first seen on Toy Story and made its final appearance on Ratatouille (although TV spots and 3D prints have the 6th logo).
After this logo retired, this began to be plastered by the 6th logo for 3D theatrical re-releases of earlier Pixar films from 2009-13, a trait which all current home media prints and most TV airings carry forward. The first two Toy Story films (in 2009 with its 3D re-release), Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo (both 2012), and Cars (in 2013) all got the plaster treatment - though the logo is still intact on current prints of A Bug's Life, The Incredibles, and the aforementioned Ratatouille (except for 3D prints), as well as prior prints of the affected films.
The logo was last used in the teaser trailer for WALL-E (released the same day as Ratatouille as it was attached to it theatrically), as the film itself uses the 6th logo (the first Pixar film to do so).
It also appears on various shorts based on Pixar films. Others from this era do not have this logo.
This logo also made a surprise appearance on an Amazon Instant Video print of Monsters, Inc., likely because it was using the 2009 master.
This was also found in the Walt Disney Pictures website until late 2012, starting with the drawing of the arc, then the waving of the flags loop.
The DTV feature Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins is the only contemporary feature-length Pixar production to not use this logo, instead using the 2nd logo.

Legacy: It is fondly remembered by fans of older Pixar films.

5th Logo (May 19, 2000-April 14, 2006)

Original version
Trailer version
Closing version

Logo: On a black background, we see the company name (in the same design as the 2nd and 4th logos) wiping in from left to right. Then we see an orange light/flare shining on the logo, illuminating it with a trail effect that rises from the top of the letters "E" and "Y" in the script, making its way around to reveal the castle from the 2nd logo in metallic orange. The entire logo wipes away as soon as the light trail effect illuminates away.

Alternate Descriptive Video Description: Golden light illuminates a logo. Walt Disney Pictures. A glowing pinpoint arcs over the outline of a castle with spires and flags.

Variant: On trailers, the logo appears to be in a bronze-like color and is leaving behind the arc.

Closing Variants:

The logo is still and has the castle in a gradient scheme, albeit different from the trailer version.
Sometimes, the full animation is used.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/closing theme of the movie.

Music/Sounds Variant: On The Pacifier, a marching band plays a suspenseful rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star".

Availability: Fairly common.

Seen on most live-action Disney films from the era.
This is seen at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, as there are no logos at the beginning.
Also seen on some animated films from Disney, such as Dinosaur (the first film to use this logo), Brother Bear (the next logo is used at the end on current prints though), and the 2002 IMAX re-release and 2003 2-Disc DVD release of The Lion King (1994).
However, most recent prints plaster it with the next logo; as before, however, the logo is intact on VHS and DVD releases of these films. This logo made its final appearance on the animated film The Wild (only at the beginning, the ending of the film uses the 2nd logo).
It was also seen on trailers of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, but the film itself uses the next logo.

Legacy: This logo earned the unofficial nickname "Flashlight", due to the light flare used. Nonetheless, it has been known to be a memorable one for those who grew up with older-skewing Disney films at the time.

6th Logo (July 7, 2006-December 9, 2022)

Scope version
Widescreen version

Scope version
Widescreen version
Off-centered text version
4K UHD version
Chinese-exclusive version

Logo: We see a view of a night sky, with a star somewhere on the screen and the clouds on the bottom. We then start flying down through the clouds with the camera. We then pan with the camera down to a very clear view of a river (including a sailboat), with a train running down a railroad track and some buildings nearby. We then fly with the camera past a flag with the Disney coat of arms and pan down as we see some fireworks going off, only to find the castle completely redone in CGI. The fireworks are almost finished when we almost reach a comfortable position in front of the castle. When the fireworks finish, a very small dot appears way closer to the castle and then moves to the right side. It then draws a line over the castle, leaving behind pixie dust. "WALT DiSNEY", in its distinctive (albeit somewhat altered) script font, alongside "P I C T U R E S" (or as of 2011, just "DiSNEY") fades in front of the castle.

Alternate Descriptive Video Descriptions:

In a logo, stars twinkle in the sky. Our view drifts down through clouds to a river that winds past hillsides. A train crosses a bridge. As a flag waves on the top of a castle's tallest spire, a bright display of fireworks explodes in the sky. A glowing pinpoint of light arcs over the castle, leaving a trail of sparkling dust. Words appear, Walt Disney Pictures/Disney.
From a starry sky, a wide view descends to a magnificent castle with a vibrant display of fireworks. Disney.

Trivia:

This logo was animated using the Pixar Renderman and Nuke software, and took nearly a year to fully complete. It was commissioned by then-Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook and then-studio marketing president Oren Aviv. The main staff responsible for the rendering were Cyrese Parrish and Cameron Smith. The 3D typography was done by John Stable and John Bias. Producer Baker Bloodworth and director Mike Gabriel were also part of the team responsible for the logo.
The logo contains elements from various Disney films: a starry background (either the opening shot of Pinocchio or the Second Star to the Right from Peter Pan), a cloudbank (possibly Mary Poppins), a pirate ship (either Peter Pan or Pirates of the Caribbean) and a train track (Dumbo).
The arc that appears over the castle is based on Tinker Bell from Peter Pan flying over the castle and sprinkling fairy dust, a hallmark of the introduction sequences of Walt Disney Presents (1958) and The Wonderful World of Disney (1961).
The castle is based on both the Cinderella Castle and the Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The coat of arms on the castle flag is of Walt Disney's family crest.

Variants:

On 3D releases, the text zooms in more to create a three-dimensional illusion. This variant was also used on eight regular format films (at least one of which doesn't even have a 3D version): Mars Needs Moms, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, both Planes films, Cinderella (2015), Aladdin (2019), Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and the Disney+ film Noelle.
Another variant has the text already formed while the curved line is drawn; this is mostly seen on trailers, as well as at the beginning of the current prints of Monsters, Inc.
An open matte version exists in both fullscreen and widescreen formats.
A 4:3 variant was seen on the 2008 DVD of 101 Dalmatians in open matte format (current home media prints since the 2010s and the Disney+ print omits it), and the Disney+ print of Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves! in standard format, plastering the Walt Disney Home Video logo.
On TV airings of Cars, an ABC print of Toy Story 3, a Freeform print of Finding Dory, and Cartoon Network airings to Alice Through the Looking Glass, the logo starts with the flag being revealed.
Sometimes, the "DiSNEY" version of the logo has the text off-center.
On 3D prints of Ratatouille, the logo starts as when we first see the pixie dust. This was to help time the opening logos correctly as the opening score, while the 2D prints use the 4th logo.
On Indian films, the logo is brighter, with the sky in a lighter blue color, the clouds in a pinkish color, and the castle in a slight tint of green.
For later 2021 Chinese releases of Disney films, and to commemorate Shanghai Disneyland's fifth anniversary, the castle was replaced by Shanghai Disneyland's Enchanted Storybook Castle (seen in the logo variant from the 2020 live-action remake of Mulan), the flag's icon was replaced by the park's fifth anniversary logo, and the "DiSNEY" text is golden. While the arc is drawn, the Chinese text for "Year of Magical Surprise" (奇妙连连惊喜一整年) appears on the top of castle, in orange. There are also some minor changes, with motion blur omitted from the castle and the textures of the grass and the water reflections.
On ABC airings of Moana, another shortened variant exists that starts when the castle is almost at the final angle.
A sped-up portion of this logo, starting at the camera rotating the castle and with the logo moving upwards in static, then transitioning to its movie counterpart before the arc is drawn, was shown on Disney's brand page on the Disney+ website. A frame of the logo with the text shifted upwards to fit the page's style is shown afterwards.
This was also used on the intro of The Wonderful World of Disney from 2006 to 2022, albeit without the text.
- The 2006 version has the castle shown at the end of the intro, transitioning from the homepage of the new Disney website via Tinker Bell tapping her wand and flying away. At the end, Tinker Bell flies in and taps her wand, then flies away.
- The 2007 version has the castle shown at the start and end of the intro, with the usual fanfare and firework sounds from the logo played in the background, albeit with the first seven notes played two times, along with archival audio of Walt Disney saying "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse." At the start, Tinker Bell flies to the castle gate as the camera follows her. At the end, Tinker Bell flies in, taps her wand then flies away.
- The 2015 and 2020 versions had the castle shown at the end of the intro. The music for both versions is "Heaven's Triumph" by Q-Factory's Robert Etoll.
  - The 2015 version starts from the fireworks bursting in the air. As the castle is reaching its position, The Wonderful World of Disney logo is shown.
  - The 2020 version starts from the camera reaching its position. As it does, The Wonderful World of Disney logo fades in. As the arc is almost drawn, the "Presented by Disney+" tagline (with the animated Disney+ logo) fades in.
A frame of the logo (with the fireworks before the arc is drawn) was shown in a door-shaped mirror in the Disney100 teaser site in Japan up unto February 13, 2023.

Closing Variants:

Just the final seconds of the logo, where the line draws over the castle and the text fades in. This was also used as an opening logo on current prints of Monsters, Inc., replacing the 1995 Pixar-exclusive logo, albeit with the text already shown, just like in the trailer version.
On animated films starting with Finding Dory (except Onward, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (the first film had no logo), and Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again), the full animation is used as a closing logo, very possibly to make the international dubbing credits sync with the music.
On current prints of Aladdin (1992), Hercules, and Brother Bear (despite the previous logo being used at the beginning of the third title), the tail-end of the logo plays.
In some cases, no closing logo appears at all.

Technique: CGI by WētāFX and yU+co.

Music/Sounds: A piano/string piece which builds into an orchestral/choir rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star", which closes out with a long bombastic note. Firework sound effects are heard when the fireworks go off. This was composed and arranged by Mark Mancina, co-arranged and orchestrated by David Metzger, and overseen by then-Walt Disney Music president Chris Montan.

Music/Sounds Variants:

An alternate version of the fanfare exists, which is subtly different and has louder and clearer sound effects.
On most movies after the logo's initial years, the film's opening theme is used instead, with no sound effects whatsoever. Some of these have the firework sounds as part of the opening theme, and in very rare cases, the logo is completely silent. Additionally, different sound effects are sometimes used with the opening theme for some films.
Some films have the sound effects (particularly those of the fireworks) being different.
The closing variant is either silent, has music from any given soundtrack, or uses the ending theme of the film. When there are sounds, there is the sound of fairy dust over the logo.
A high pitched variant exists, which is heard on PAL prints of films and the main hub section of Disney Movies VR, respectively.
On the sound-effects only audio track to Meet the Robinsons, only the sound of bursts can be heard.

Availability: No longer in use as of December 2022, but still extremely common. This was used in tandem with the 2nd logo until December 12, 2006, with the 4th logo until June 29, 2007, and with the next logo until December 9, 2022.

General information

Seen on most Disney films from 2006 to 2022, starting with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (trailers for the film use the previous logo) and ending with the Disney+ original film Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again.
Also seen on Pixar films from WALL-E to Lightyear. It was also seen on some TV spots and 3D prints of Ratatouille (even though the film itself and 2D prints used the 4th logo as that logo's final appearance).
The version with the full company name was last used theatrically on Winnie the Pooh (2011) and on the DTV film Treasure Buddies (2012), but it later made a surprise appearance at the end of The Lone Ranger (theatrical prints only). It was also found in the Walt Disney Pictures website in 2006.
Even though the 2011 variant was actually first used for the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment logo back in 2007, it would later replace the original variant (with the full company name) starting with The Muppets, and all movies following it. The change was also made to fit into mobile phones and other devices, like the iPod.
This is currently still being used on the Disney page of the Disney+ app as of 2023, as well as the profile pic on Walt Disney Studios' social media accounts.

Individual appearances and plasters

It also started to appear on current prints of classic Disney films and shorts, as well as pre-2008 Pixar films (with the exceptions of A Bug's Life, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille (2D prints only)) in the late 2000s (however, many others like those aforementioned films still use their old logos). It even plasters the Touchstone Pictures logo on post-2006 prints of The Nightmare Before Christmas (the company is still listed in the closing credits).
Also seen on some Indian films produced by the company, with the UTV Motion Pictures logo appearing on select international releases until 2017.
It also appears preceding the Studio Ghibli logo on the 2010 DVD releases of their output, and is even surprisingly retained at the end of both UK and Australian DVD releases of Ponyo, even though Optimum Releasing (now StudioCanal) (for the UK) and Madman Entertainment (for Australia) distributed the film there.
It also appeared on the demo VHS release of Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, marking the only time the logo appeared officially on VHS in the USA.
Also appears on a few Disney games since the closure of Disney Interactive Studios in 2016, including Disney Infinity 1.0 (as a variant), but otherwise the print Disney wordmark is used. It also appears on LEGO games published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and based on Disney properties, such as LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, LEGO The Incredibles (as a variant), and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This logo did not appear on Cars 3: Driven to Win, which uses the Disney Consumer Products logo instead.
The logo usually appeared in ABC shows and specials, such as Dancing with the Stars and American Idol during Disney Night, which occurred once each season, with a variant created for these shows, respectively. For example, in Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars, the logo without the Disney text was shown on the video walls in the stage, and the logo precedes the BBC Worldwide Productions logo. Furthermore, the same skybox was used in Mickey's 90th Spectacular (albeit using a variant at the start of the show) during the show's finale.
The castle was also shown in the Disney section of the main hub of Disney Movies VR, albeit with the music in PAL toned, with different firework sounds playing in the background, even after the music stops. Different fireworks are also shown in the background.
The 4:3 open-matte variant was also spotted on the Korean VHS and many VCD releases of WALL-E, Up, and Toy Story 3, and a Russian TV print of Cars 2.
This logo also appears on some 20th Century Animation films produced for Disney+ (mainly animated films), rather than said company's logo (however, the company is mentioned as the copyright holder). This also includes the live action Better Nate Than Ever and Cheaper By The Dozen.
- On a side note before the acquisition, this does not appear on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, as 20th Century Fox distributed that film instead, due to budgetary disputes between Disney and Walden Media at the time.
The China-specific version of the logo is rare, and was only seen on Mainland China's releases of the 2021 films Luca, Jungle Cruise (as a variant) and Encanto. There were also no picture/video captures nor mentions of this variant online until the following year.
This logo was also seen on the trailer for Strange World, with the film itself using the next logo.

Legacy: Considered an iconic logo among Disney fans and a favorite of many, though it has gained some infamy among some for its continual plastering of Disney's previous logos. Outside the logo community, it's regarded by some as a metaphor for the company's size.

7th Logo (November 23, 2022-)

Disney100 variant (with tagline, 2022 Enhanced version)
Disney100 variant (without tagline, 2022 Enhanced version)
Disney100 variant (short version, with tagline)
Disney100 variant (short version, without tagline, 2022 enhanced version)

Logo: It starts off with an enhanced version of the night sky from the previous logo, which turns out to be reflected in a river as the largest star jumps out of the river, causing the scene to ripple around it (a la the current Paramount Pictures logo). Instead of panning down, the camera pans up and zooms past an updated version of the river and buildings as the train passes by on a bridge, now with a waterfall, trees and other elements, as we follow the star around the landscape. Once the camera gets to the waterfall, we pan up to reveal a metallic Cinderella Castle from the back before the star flies across it and fills it with color. The camera rotates to the left and then works its way to the front of the castle (similar to the 20th Century Studios logos since 1994) while multiple colored fireworks are seen going off from all directions. The camera then reaches its standard position, revealing a new sunset background and a new river, and the arc (now wider, brighter, and colored in blue) draws from the left of the castle rather than from the right, with a star twinkling when it reaches its highest point as the coloring of the castle is finished. As the camera slowly zooms out, the "DiSNEY" script writes in (which is once again in the 1985 font) along with a "100" (with the two zeroes resembling an infinity symbol) in a similar fashion next to it as the camera comes to a stop before the logo fades out.

Alternate Descriptive Video Descriptions:

A brightly shining star moves revealing itself to be a glowing point of light that sends out ripples on a river's calm reflective surface. The light flies over a bridge as a train passes, then zips past tall evergreen trees toward a large waterfall. It flies up the falls lighting up the cascading water as it goes. At the top, fireworks explode in the shape of Mickey Mouse over a magnificent fairytale castle. As the light shoots past, its glimmering tail spreads over the castle's facade. The light arcs over the castle terrace leaving a trail of glitter. Disney100.

Trivia:

This logo was revealed at the Disney Studios & Animation and Pixar panel at the 2022 D23 Expo on September 9, 2022.
According to an official D23 article,^[1] the flying star that jumps out of the river is meant to represent Tinker Bell from Peter Pan.
The pan up/zoom shot to a castle through a forest/waterfall background is a homage to Beauty and the Beast, which opened with a similar shot. The castle being filled with color homages a scene in the film where the enchantment is broken and light and color spreads across the castle. The castle, however, was shown in the reflection in that scene.
Like the previous logo, the train seen halfway through the logo is Casey Jr. from Dumbo, reusing the design from the 2019 live-action remake of said film.
At the end of the logo, Matterhorn Mountain from Third Man on the Mountain (and the Disneyland attraction Matterhorn Bobsleds) and Pride Rock from The Lion King can be seen on opposite sides of the castle. You can also see the lanterns from Tangled in the river, and the Will O' the Wisps from Brave on the grass.
Three Mickey Mouse head-shaped fireworks are shown when the castle appears. Two more of those are also shown as the camera pans across the castle. This references the hidden Mickeys. Overall, there are five Mickey Mouse head-shaped fireworks in total.
The castle's color that starts off platinum references the company's 100th anniversary in 2023, as platinum is a recurring color across the company's anniversary branding.
The arc, which traditionally appears from right to left, appears from left to right in this logo, possibly in homage to the 2005 Hong Kong Disneyland logo, the 2006 print logo and the animated logo of Disney+. The arc, as well as the star's trail, is also in blue, the main color of Disney+.

Variants:

During the logo's early run, "100 YEARS OF WONDER", set in the company's own font, InspireTWDC, fades in below the text.
A short variant exists where it starts on the arc drawing and the star twinkling when the arc reaches the highest spire, albeit with the castle already colored and the text already formed. This can be seen on trailers and as a closing logo, as well as on short films beginning with Carl's Date. It also appeared at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (international releases have the "100 YEARS OF WONDER" tagline).
At the end of the Disney100 special look video, which has been uploaded on Disney's social pages before being aired during Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023 during the 4th quarter, the logo, which fades from the camera moving to its position, fades out besides the arc after that is drawn with the words "YOU MADE THIS DREAM COME TRUE" and the copyright "© 2023 DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC." fading in.
- The copyright stamp was moved to the actual logo at the end of the Disney100 "Tradition" special look video on April 3rd of that same year, then the tail end of the text forming in the Disney100 "4th of July" special look video, in the same vein of the first Disney100 special look video, on July 4th of the same year.
- Furthermore, the official site featured the finished logo. Alongside the video's release, the Disney profile picture and banner on the company's social pages were updated with the profile pic showing the Disney logo in silver on the finished logo's sky background and the profile banner showing the logo with the arc drawn and the Disney100 logo (which is different than the one shown on-screen and without the text below it) being moved up to fit with the banner's height.
In the LEGO Disney100 collection teaser, a Minifig version of Tinker Bell appeared as the logo (in its scope format), starting from the camera moving to its position, fades in. She flies away then follows the arc before tapping her wand before the text is being drawn, as grey bricks appear, as the screen fades to white and transitions to a scene from Steamboat Willie.
A 30fps version exists on Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl, also, starting with the aforementioned film, the coloring is enhanced and updated, likely to accommodate for 4K UHD screens.
An extended version (which starts from when the star is about to jump out of the water's reflection after transitioning from scenes from films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, as Walt Disney's quote, "IT'S KIND OF FUN TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.", zooms in as the star jumps out of the water's reflection, with the finished logo stays on-screen for a few seconds; in which it was paused to avoid the logo fading out) is known to exist on Disney100: The Concert during the end of the opening score.
This was also used in the intro for The Wonderful World of Disney since 2022, albeit without the text forming. This version of the intro was based on the 2020 version of the intro, in which it starts as the castle is reaching its position, albeit being shown before the archival audio of Walt Disney saying "...here we go.". Similar to the previous versions, the castle was shown at the end of the intro. As the castle reaching its position, the Wonderful World of Disney logo along with the "Presented by Disney+" tagline (with the animated Disney+ logo being shown as the arc is being drawn), was fading in. After that, it transitions to the print Disney100 logo. A few months later, the intro was updated as the print Disney100 logo was removed, as the "Presented by Disney+" tagline will remain shown for the rest of the intro. This was most likely due to the addition of films from 20th Century Studios, as in which a scene from the featured movie was shown. Just like the 2015 and 2020 versions of the intro, the music is "Heaven's Triumph", composed by Q-Factory's Robert Etoll.
A frame of the finished logo (without the text) is shown in a door-shaped mirror in the Disney100 teaser site in all supported regions and languages besides Japan (until February 12, 2023; February 13 for the rest of the world), albeit with the US English version of the site as one of the rotating images until around the end of December 2022.
On the Apple WWDC (Worldwide Developer's Conference) 2023 event, we see the arc forming after a few seconds, in the same vein as the short version, in which it animates smoothly at 30fps. Then, it moves around for a bit as the text fades out, as we follow it while the camera zooms into the castle gate, transitioning to the reveal of Disney+ on Apple Vision Pro. The finished logo, with the river flowing, was also shown on the screen behind Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, which also animates at 30fps, and is zoomed in to the bottom right when the camera focuses on Iger.

Closing Variant: Either the full animation (on animated films) or the short version as described above.

Technique: CGI by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in collaboration with Disney Studios Content (now part of the Walt Disney Studios since November 2022).

Music/Sounds: A longer, more majestic and powerful arrangement of the "When You Wish Upon a Star" theme from the previous logo, this time composed by Christophe Beck and orchestrated by Tim Davies, recorded at the Fox Studio Lot. We also hear the sounds of a whistling train as the train passes by, as well as the sounds of the waterfall rushing as we get close to it, and the choir vocalizing towards the end (albeit more audible). Also, the firework sounds are different and louder, syncing to the notes.

Music/Sounds Variants:

In some cases, the closing theme of the film is heard or none at all.
Sometimes on the closing variant, we hear the sound of fairy dust.
On short films, the first few seconds of the theme with the fairy dust sound are heard. The theme trails to the Pixar logo on Carl's Date.

Availability: Brand new and current. This was used in tandem with the previous logo until December 9, 2022.

Seen on most Disney films since Strange World (trailers and TV spots for the film use the previous logo), released on November 23, 2022.
It then appeared at the beginning of the concert special Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl and later on Chang Can Dunk (the first two Disney+ originals to use the logo) and on all films following it. However, the closing version is not shown at the end on the former title.
This logo has also appeared on concert programs since April 2023.

Legacy: Many consider this logo a love letter to Disney's filmography, and an appropriate successor to the previous logo.

Logo Variations

Main Logo Variations Trailer Variations

These are the logo variations used throughout the years by Walt Disney Pictures, with more to be added over time.

Aladdin (1992, closing):

Genie (voiced by Robin Williams) is heard saying, "You have been a fabulous audience! Tell you what, you're the best audience in the whole world! Take care of yourselves! Good night, Alice! Good night, Agrabah! ¡ADIÓS, AMIGOS!"

A Goofy Movie (1995):

The logo fades to blue instead of black, segueing into the opening credits.

Pocahontas (1995):

The drawing of the arc is delayed for a few seconds to maintain the logo in time with the opening music.

Toy Story (1995):

After the Pixar variant of the logo finishes, it zooms out and transitions into the opening scene.

Bambi: The Magic Behind the Masterpiece (1997):

The 1990 logo appears as usual. Tinker Bell then flies away from the logo and uses her wand to make it disappear in an explosion of pixie dust.

That Darn Cat! (1997):

Cats meow to the tune of the logo's fanfare.

Hercules (1997, closing):

During the end of the credits and the closing Disney logo, Hades (voiced by James Woods) is heard complaining, "What do you say, it's happy ending time! Everybody's got a little taste of something, but me, I got nothing. I'm-I'm here with nothing. Anybody listening? It's like, uh, what am I, an echo or something? Hello? HELLO? Am I talking to what, hyperspace? Hello, it's me! Nobody listens."

Meet the Deedles (1998):

The logo transitions into an undersea picture.

I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998):

As soon as the arc is created, Christmas lights appear and flash over it.

Tarzan (1999):

The background fades into the opening sequence as the burst of light produces the "Walt Disney" text.

Inspector Gadget (1999) and Inspector Gadget 2 (2003, DTV):

The castle is in CGI and mechanized, while the arc is replaced with a gear. The castle then falls apart in a flurry of cartoon sound effects. An arrangement of "When You Wish Upon a Star" plays, which fades out as the castle goes wild, and a gear flies toward the screen as the opening titles begin. The 1985 fanfare is utilized in the second film, along with various different sound effects as the castle is demolished, and it also zooms out.

My Favorite Martian (1999):

The logo gradually fades into Mars. It also freezes for a few seconds before the arc is drawn.

Fantasia 2000 (1999):

Opening: Same as Tarzan, but the background fades into space, with the clips from the opening of the 1940 "Fantasia" floating in behind it as it fades out.

Closing: The normal logo plays, but the arc disappears once it is formed. Also, Steve Martin is heard saying, "Camera back on me? Uh, camera back on me, please? Anyone? Hello? HELLO? ...Could someone give me a ride home?"

John Henry (2000 short):

The logo is a patch sewn onto a quilt.

The Emperor's New Groove (2000, closing):

Same as Fantasia 2000, but in a shorter form and with the closing theme and no dialogue.

Recess: School's Out (2001):

The logo plays as normal, but the flash that reveals "Walt Disney" also ends up covering the entire castle and dies down to reveal Gus, Mikey, Gretchen, Spinelli, Vince, and TJ standing on top of the castle. As the logo continues normally, they play the second half of the fanfare on kazoos. The Recess characters were animated by Disney Television Animation.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001):

Opening: The lights reflected by the river ripples reveal the already-formed emblem (with an extra flag on the rightmost spire) on a rusted-steel wall. Within the curving line, a flash of light arcs. The camera pans forward slightly.

Closing: Nearly the same as the opening variant, but it is already formed and the background is well-lit (signifying Atlantis' resurrection to its former splendor), as the camera still zooms forward slightly.

The Country Bears (2002):

The logo plays as usual, but once it's finished, it is set against a wood background. A spark of fire travels all the way to the bottom right.

Return to Never Land (2002):

Pixie dust falls from the arc as it is drawn by a glowing yellow light (representing Tinker Bell), which then flies around and inside the gate, revealing the hazy texture in the backdrop. It then zooms out to the left and reveals itself to be on a cloud. The camera then moves around and the logo vanishes as the film begins.

Snow Dogs (2002):

The logo starts normally. Once the arc is drawn, the logo becomes frozen and it begins to snow.

Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002, DTV):

We begin with a blue background. Then, at the very bottom, a four-pointed star rises up, splits, and explodes like fireworks, showing a section of the 1985 Disney castle. The final one rises and bursts, revealing the whole castle. The "Walt Disney" signature then writes itself as the remainder of the logo continues to play normally. For the initial shot, the letters and arc fade away, and the castle dissolves into Cinderella's castle.

Lilo & Stitch (2002):

The logo is on a black background, and the dot drawing the arc is now green with a "pulsing" sound effect. After it finishes, the logo is beamed up by a UFO offscreen.

On "Stitch's Trial", the original opening from the home media release, the logo is white on a grey backdrop, and letters in Tantalog (the language spoken on Stitch's home planet) fade in and out before transitioning to English, one by one. After the rest of the animation is completed, it fades into the opening scene.

Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year (2002):

When the "Walt Disney" text is formed, snowflakes begin to fall across the logo.

The Jungle Book 2 (2003):

The logo is superimposed in front of a piece of cloth behind a blue light, and waves slightly until it fades and the color changes.

Piglet's Big Movie (2003):

The arc is pink instead of white, resembling the color of Piglet.

Freaky Friday (2003):

The logo animates normally before fading to an aged parchment sheet, segueing into the opening credits.

Stitch! The Movie (2003, DTV):

The background fades to space after the arc forms, causing the castle and words to flicker out like TV static.

Holes (2003):

The sound of a flare gun is heard when the arc is drawn.

The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003):

Opening: The castle zooms in quickly in parts, followed by letters arriving from the left (one after the other). The logo then begins to flash blue and red, similar to police lights, while police sirens can be heard in the background. The arc is blue, and after the logo is completed, it vanishes, and the logo itself travels to the right.

Closing: Same as the opening, but it is already formed with the flashing blue and red lights gone, and it fades away when the arc is formed.

101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure (2003, DTV):

After the flash, dogs bark in response to the logo's fanfare.

George of the Jungle 2 (2003, DTV):

After it has been formed, a silhouette of George swings around the screen and crashes into the castle, leaving a hole and causing it to fall over.

The Haunted Mansion (2003):

As gloomy clouds obscure the writing, the castle transforms into a mansion.

Teacher's Pet (2004):

The logo is animated in the same manner as the film. It pans to the bottom-left corner once the logo is done. Also seen at the end of the film without the panning.

Lorenzo (2004 short):

The logo is animated like a neon sign. The arc is timed to the conductor's animation. As the conductor counts, one of the arc segments flickers.

Home on the Range (2004):

Opening: The castle and text are branded onto a piece of leather. Then the arc fires in and the leather burns up to reveal the opening shot.

Closing: On the brown background used for the credits, the already-formed logo fades in.

Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (2004, DTV):

A small stylized Christmas tree appears within the castle before disappearing as "Walt Disney" flashes in. The logo is then superimposed on a red Christmas ornament.

Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005):

The logo animates normally, until the end. The castle then dissolves into a cloud formation as the backdrop and letters fade to a hazy sky and the camera pans down to the opening scene.

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (2005, DTV):

The logo is on a black background like the first film, and the dot drawing the arc is green again. The way the castle forms is also different; each segment of the castle appears one by one from bottom-to-top rather than a light forming the castle from top-to-bottom; after the top segment appears, it flashes like a neuralyzer. And when the arc forms, the whole logo glitches like a computer would do.

Ice Princess (2005)

The "flashlight" logo is blue with ice coming out of the arc.

Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005):

Once the arc is drawn, the logo zooms out from a hole on a white background, segueing into the opening credits. This was done by yU+co, who would later animate the 2006 logo with Wētā FX.

Sky High (2005):

The "flashlight" logo fades into a silhouette on a skyline.

Chicken Little (2005):

Opening: A fairy tale-esque castle (somewhat resembling the Pixar variant) is seen on a clear blue sky. The "Walt Disney" text drifts in beneath it, and a shooting star inscribes an arc above the castle.

Closing: The logo animates as usual, but the background is black instead of blue, similar to Lilo & Stitch and Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch.

Tarzan II (2005, DTV):

Exactly like on Tarzan, but the jungle shot is different.

Brother Bear II (2006, DTV):

Birds fly out from the castle after the arc is formed.

Bambi II (2006, DTV):

The logo is seen in mist. After it forms, the mist covers it up.

Leroy & Stitch (2006, DTV):

When the arc forms, the background fades to space, just like in Stitch! The Movie, and the logo goes into hyperdrive.

The Shaggy Dog (2006):

The castle turns into a doghouse (both at the beginning and end of the movie). Also, an extra flag is seen on the rightmost spire (similar to the 2002 variant).

The Wild (2006):

In the darkness, a particle makes its usual way above the castle (which is surrounded by acacia trees) while Samson (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) is about to tell his son Ryan (voiced by Greg Cipes) a story. Suddenly, as Ryan tells Samson he's already heard his story a billion times, it stops and rushes back. Then as the conversation repeats, it tries again, makes 2/3 of the distance, and rushes back again. Next time, the conversation occurs again, and the particle is drawn back by a hand. For the fourth time, the particle (and thus, Samson) finally succeeds, and the logo turns into the sun. The text is also in 3D and made of stone. This was animated by Reel FX Animation Studios.

Pirates of the Caribbean film series:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006): This was the first movie to use the 2006 logo, which is darker than usual.
Both variants feature the castle flying the Jolly Roger flag and the Black Pearl ship in the river alongside the castle.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011): The movie's opening theme is heard. Dark blue fog comes in from the left to fill the screen as the animation (which is tinted in dark blue) fades in at the camera panning down (you can still briefly see a glimpse of the stars as it fades in). The fireworks are in a white tint while sounds of firing cannons are heard. In the river in front of the castle, two mermaids flip their tails before the text fades in as it zooms to position.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017): The logo is tinted dark blue, with storm clouds and lightning flashes added to the sky and the fireworks, the star and the front sparkles are all absent. Also, the "Disney" text is in the style of the Maleficent variant.

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006):

When it fully forms, the camera zooms out to reveal a snow globe surrounding it that Santa holds. He then shakes the snow globe, which causes snow to surround the castle. Also, when the snow globe appears, the fanfare gradually decreases in speed to match the opening theme.

The Fox and the Hound 2 (2006, DTV):

After the logo is done, it fades to a cloudy sky.

Enchanted franchise:

Enchanted (2007): The sparkles that surround the text disappear as the last note of the music hits. Then the camera zooms forward past the text to the castle into a room with a book inside in the top middle of it, which leads to the opening scene. Just like the standard logo, this was done by yU+co in collaboration with Wētā FX.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

Disenchanted (2022, Disney+): The logo starts off normally (with the opening theme, "Andalasia" by Griffin Newman, playing over it, albeit with the same notes from "When You Wish Upon a Star" being added). Near the end, two blue birds fly through the logo, as one of them then comes closer, transforming the entire castle into a 2.5D version of the Disney Renaissance art style. It takes place in daytime, and the castle is replaced by Andalasia's castle. The text is in purple and there are flowers in front of it. The camera zooms into the top-left corner, starting the film.

Presto (2008 short):

The castle (in its normal form) is seen on a red textured background, similar to the background used for the opening of 1940s Disney color shorts. Underneath is the text "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" underneath (the "Walt Disney" text is in the style of the Walt Disney Animation Studios logo).

Bedtime Stories (2008):

When the music ends, the logo turns into a pop-up book.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008):

When the music ends, the logo turns into a diamond shape and moves into the opening titles.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008):

When the last five notes are playing, a light appears in the way of the star, then it morphs into a lightbulb surging into the opening titles.

Race to Witch Mountain (2009):

The logo gets darkened when the text fades in, and the castle turns into the mountain from the Witch Mountain films.

Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience (2009):

A rock version of the theme is heard, albeit only halfway through when the highest spire is revealed; the normal fanfare is also in a different key to match the remix.

Tron: Legacy (2010):

The logo is formed by graphics like those found in the Grid. This was made by Prologue Films.

Mars Needs Moms (2011):

The logo animates as normal, but when the arc is drawn, the entire logo (except the text) turns red.

Prom (2011):

It starts normally, but when the star reaches the end, it suddenly turns into a photo tinted in yellow, with a frame of the finished logo without the text and sparkles before the same frame from the logo in the photo. Then a pencil drawing of a castle on a separate sheet paper covers the original castle under a cut-out of a notebook paper and a paper cut-out of the text "Walt Disney" from the 1990 logo, with the "Pictures" word in the same font as the standard logo, pasted onto it. Several stars are also pasted. The music also turns into a rock version when it transforms.

John Carter (2012):

Opening: The entire logo is tinted red, to fit the movie's setting of Mars.

Closing: Same as the opening, but it starts at the arc being formed.

Frankenweenie (2012):

The logo starts as usual (with a re-orchestrated version of the music by Danny Elfman, based on Mark Mancina and David Metzger's work on the fanfare). Near the end of the logo, it turns black-and-white, as lightning starts striking and organ music plays. A moon is also shown and there is some fog around the river in front of the castle, while a rainstorm occurs. This was also the first track of the film's soundtrack, entitled "Frankenweenie Disney Logo". According to the soundtrack, Leigh Harline (composer of "When You Wish Upon A Star") and Mark Mancina (composer of the standard fanfare) were credited.

Paperman (2012 short, closing):

The logo is in black and white and stylized just like the short. Also, the text is written in chalk, and the arc is drawn by a paper airplane.

Wreck-It Ralph franchise:

Wreck-It Ralph (2012, closing): The closing logo starts as usual, but it then glitches as errors appear with "RALPH" misspelled as "RALF". Then, it turns into a parody of the Pac-Man kill screen. The 1985 logo is briefly seen, but with the text amongst other remnants like the Walt Disney Animation Studios logo and other characters seen in the film as sprites. It ends with an arcade screen turn-off effect.

Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018, closing): The closing logo animates as usual, with the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, fading out and Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) talking over it. At the last second, it very abruptly cuts to the first film's closing logo variation as the screen turns off.

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013):

The logo is in black and white, in an art-deco style, and in a 4:3 aspect ratio (like the first few minutes of the film). The logo starts at the top of the sky (different to the original logo) with animated stars and simple fireworks then it pans down to the cardboard castle. Other elements (like the river and sky) are drawn on the ground and wall and the text (which is already formed) is made up of two connected sticks with the letters on them (with "Dis" on the left stick and "ney" on the right stick). While the star appears without passing the front of the castle, albeit with the sparkles around the arc being removed, the camera zooms into the door of the castle, and the text opens like a gate. This variant was done by yU+co.

The Lone Ranger (2013):

The entire logo is in a shade of gray-blue (in keeping with the film's Western look). This was designed by Devastudios.

Planes (2013):

The logo doesn't start until after a few seconds, and the movie's opening theme/dialogue is heard with the fireworks sounds intact. The text is in glass, colored in white, and zooms in (like the 3D variant). When it finishes, the sparkles around the text disappears. Then an aviation warning light appears on the highest tower of the castle. After a full rotation of light, the tallest spire flashes a blinking red light, and two planes from the film fly past the logo towards the screen, cutting into the film's opening shot.

Saving Mr. Banks (2013):

On a blue sunburst background, the castle (as seen in the 1985 logo) in white zooms out as the arc is drawn with a bright light, with the text "Walt Disney" (drawn in a similar fashion to Walt's own signature) and "PRESENTS" below. Some copyright info fades in below, including a copyright notice, a certificate number with the old MPAA logo, a logo for Disney Sound Recording, a notice with the "Walt Disney" text shown above and reading "DISTRIBUTED BY WALT DISNEY STUDIOS MOTION PICTURES", a la the same closing text before the closing version of the standard logo, and a copyright date for "MMXIII" (Roman numerals for 2013).

Frozen (2013) and Frozen II (2019):

The opening theme ("Frozen Heart" in the first film, performed by the cast of the film, and "Introduction" in the second film, composed by Christophe Beck) plays over the logo, and doesn't begin after a few seconds.

Get a Horse! (2013 short, closing):

The logo is in black and white, with the text in a slightly different font and underlined. Clarabelle Cow is seen leaping over the castle, drawing the arc with her milk.

Million Dollar Arm (2014):

The logo is in a shade of dark purple.

Maleficent film series:

Maleficent (2014): The logo starts off normally, but the castle is replaced with King Stefan's castle, and the front side is entirely different. The text is in silver with sparkles around it. It then changes into daytime as the narrator starts the story. The camera starts zooming past the word and through the castle as the sun rises to reveal the kingdom which in the film is set. The horizontal line of the original logo becomes the Kingdom of the Moors.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019): The standard castle is used instead. Once the logo is complete, the camera pans up to the right-top corner, transitioning into the opening scene.

Feast (2014 short, closing):

The logo is decorated on a plate, and the man from the short squirts ketchup onto it, creating the arc over the castle.

Into the Woods (2014):

Opening: Sound effects from the logo's atmosphere are used instead of the usual fanfare. It fades from black (similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides variant, but without the fog). It is darkened and the fireworks are absent. The star fades in, moving as usual, but as it's moving, the moon appears. The sparkles disappear early. The camera backs up to some leafless trees (hence the title of the film) as the text without the sparkles fades in. This variant was done by yU+co. On yU+co's website, the sound effects are absent, leaving the firework sounds on the standard logo with the standard fanfare, and cuts in and out instead of fading in and out.

Closing: Same as the opening, but it starts at the arc being formed, with the standard logo as it basis, and is a bit darker.

McFarland, USA (2015):

The logo is shortened, starting from the final angle of the animation and fades in slowly. The opening score starts over the logo as the curved line is drawn over the castle.

Frozen Fever (2015 short, closing):

One of the tiny snowmen (from the preceding short) is standing on the right, and sneezes and leaps over the castle from right to left, leaving a trail in the shape of the usual arc.

Cinderella (2015):

In the last few seconds when the text fades in, the entire logo transitions to daytime, with the castle similar to the one found at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Then, the camera pans up to follow two blue birds to the opening.

Tomorrowland (2015):

The logo starts off normally, but after the camera pans down from the sky, the background scenery and the castle are replaced with Tomorrowland's buildings and structures. The fireworks are also different and the star is replaced by a machine that flies past the camera. Also, the "Disney" text is blue and in the style of the Maleficent variant.

The Jungle Book (2016) and The Lion King (2019): Both films were directed by Jon Favreau, employing a similar variant.

The entire logo is recreated in traditional hand-drawn animation, with the castle resembling Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, Anaheim. The lanterns on the entrance of the castle are replaced with torches, the fireworks are entirely different, bursting into the air before the highest point of the castle is shown and for an additional second after the text is shown. The music is rearranged by John Debney (who is the composer of the 1985 logo's fanfare) and the text is in an orange tint. When the word "Presents" (in the same style as the opening credits of the 1967 film) fades in under the text, the music segues into the rearranged version of "The Jungle Book Overture" as the camera zooms out into a realistic jungle. This fanfare and the rearranged version of "The Jungle Book Overture" are two parts of the first track of the film's soundtrack, entitled "Main Titles - Jungle Run". According to the soundtrack, Leigh Harline (composer of "When You Wish Upon A Star"), Mark Mancina (composer of the standard fanfare) and George Burns (composer of "The Jungle Book Overture" from the 1967 animated film of the same name) were credited.

The latter reuses the same variant, but with a few changes: the word "Presents" underneath the text is removed. The arc is added in, but with a completely different look, which starts from coming out of the gate, not much like the same animation used in the standard logo. The arc is drawn as soon as the text is shown with an additional second of fireworks. The camera stops at the last notes, and the text is still when it fades in. This time the music is composed by Hans Zimmer, based on the first part of "Main Titles - Jungle Run" from the former film's soundtrack by John Debney, who also composed the former. The logo fades out once it's done.

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016):

After a few seconds when the text fades in, the camera pans up away from the logo to the night sky.

The Finest Hours (2016):

Opening: The logo is tinted in sepia. Instead of the regular fanfare, "The Hucklebuck" by Frank Sinatra plays.
Closing: Same as the opening, but it starts at the arc being formed.

Inner Workings (2016 short, closing):

The camera pans right from the end of the closing credits to a sunset beach rendition of the logo with the castle made out of sand. The text in white fades in at the bottom as the last part of the short's song "California Loco" plays.

Beauty and the Beast (2017):

The logo is set in France, complete with the town of Villeneuve and the Prince's Castle (lit up for the masquerade party in the following prologue), although the river has the usual shape. The sky is an extremely dark cloudy sky at night, and the fireworks explode in yellow and are different from the standard logo. The star is different and arcs as usual with a different trail. The text fades in the same time as the front sparkles around it. When the music ends, the text & sparkles fade out and the camera pans back a little bit more to reveal a rosebush and the Enchantress (offscreen) picks the middle rose up and she moves to one of the petals of the rose, transitioning into the prologue.
An open-matte variant of this logo exists on likely TV airings of the film, due to the usage of the IMAX print.

Gone Fishing (2017 short):

Opening: The logo is similar to the teaser trailer for Moana, but has darker colors and the shadows of the palm trees and the clouds in the background are different.

Closing: Same as the opening, except Maui falls past the logo.

The Last Warrior (2017, Russia), The Last Warrior: Root of Evil (2020, Russia) and The Last Warrior: Messenger of Darkness (2021, Russia):

The logo animates as usual, but the front side and flag are different with an entirely different entrance, and the water is still. As the star moves, a house with chicken legs (Baba Yaga's house) leaps from the right side, jumps over the river and lands on the other side. The house looks at us briefly before leaving. The sparkles that surround the text are absent, similar to the Into the Woods and Dead Men Tell No Tales variants.

Coco (2017):

The logo plays as normal, but the firework sounds are absent, and the fanfare is done in a mariachi style, with bongos, a guitar, violins, a small choir, trumpets, and a xylophone.

A Wrinkle in Time (2018):

The logo plays as usual. After the music ends, the logo suddenly reverses colors back into the arc drawing with a wormhole effect, then quickly switches to a frame of the finished logo. Later, the background changes to a galaxy of stars which moves like a kaleidoscope, with the top part of the castle in which the castle itself (which glows in blue) starts deforming. The front returns to normal, but the text is in copper orange and becomes the same size as the 16:9 logo, which fades in. After a couple seconds, the logo wormholes again before cutting to the film's opening shot.

Incredibles 2 (2018):

The entire logo is reanimated in 2D and is in the style of the film's credits, with a red/yellow color scheme. The main star twinkles in, while the rest of the stars and the background fade in. The camera pans down to Metroville, with the bullet train from the first film running along the track. The castle has a blinking light at its tallest spire and there are no fireworks (similar to the Into the Woods and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales variants). From the right side of the castle, the star moves from behind and arcs over the castle. The yellow text simply fades in without any sparkles, but instead around the text before that. When it fades out, the castle's entrance shows the film's monogram, which also fades out shortly.

Christopher Robin (2018):

The logo starts as usual, but when the camera goes around the castle, the kingdom fades to an aged paper background to blend into the prologue. The castle and fireworks dissolve into traditional animation (stylized like the book series' illustrations by E.H. Shepard). The star makes a different sound. The sparkles around the text (in black) are absent (similar to Into the Woods and Dead Men Tell No Tales) as the sparkles from above the castle transform into twinkling stars which disappear after a couple seconds. The logo fades out and is replaced with the in-credit text as the camera zooms slightly forward. The book pages turn to cover up and the camera pans right to start the prologue sequence of the opening credits.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018):

The logo is darkened, with the fireworks sounds intact, and the music is rearranged by James Newton Howard with Gustavo Dudame conducting the London Philharmonia Orchestra and Lang Lang as the solo pianist. The text is slightly brighter than usual. When the music is finished, Drosselmeyer's owl comes in by swooping down from the sky above the left side of the castle. The "Disney" text with sparkles fades out, and the camera follows the owl into a snowy version of Victorian-era London at sunset, establishing the opening shot.

Mary Poppins Returns (2018):

The logo starts normally, but is tinted in dark blue (similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Into the Woods variants). When the camera pans around the castle, various London landmarks can be seen. As the music ends, the camera backs up onto a road with lampposts, and several trees are on the grass.

Aladdin (2019):

The logo plays as normal (with the text zooming in). When the last note plays, a light from the star at the left side of the castle brightens up to cover the entire logo as the text becomes a shadow. When the light fades out, the castle becomes a ship with almost the same shape, and the text's shadow fades out.

Toy Story 4 (2019):

The 30-second version of "Operation Pull Toy" from the soundtrack (composed and conducted by Randy Newman) is used instead of the usual fanfare.

Lady and the Tramp (2019, Disney+):

The logo's music is rearranged in a 1950s jazz style, and the logo starts a few seconds after the music starts. When the star almost ends, the entire logo becomes sepia-toned.

Noelle (2019, Disney+):

The logo starts normally, but is slightly darkened. When the text fades in, it starts snowing. Also, the text is slightly transparent. After the music ends, the text and sparkles fade out, then the camera pans over the logo in a fashion similar to that of a reversed movement of the original logo, and Santa Claus' sleigh flies past the camera. After the camera moves across the flag on the highest spire, the entire backdrop changes to the North Pole as the film starts.

The Wonderful World of Disney: The Little Mermaid Live! (2019)

The logo starts normally, but the text does not fade in, as akin to the intro of The Wonderful World of Disney, without the program's logo. Instead, Tinker Bell comes onto the screen and taps her wand on the castle, transitioning to the beginning of the special.

The One and Only Ivan (2020, Disney+)

The logo plays normally, but after the music ends, it fades into a foggy glass window with the castle as the texture, transitioning into the prologue. After the onscreen text "INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY" disappears, the window (with the castle's texture still on it) is cleaned by the titular character. Designed by the film's art department at Technicolor's Pre-Production studio in Culver City, Los Angeles, California.

Mulan (2020):

The logo starts normally, but after it pans down from the night sky, we see a drastically different background resembling the farmlands of China. The castle has been changed to the one seen at Shanghai Disneyland (the Enchanted Storybook Castle), and the text is in bright gold. The phoenix seen in the film flies and draws the arc before it fades out. This variant was done by yU+co; on their website, this logo appears with slightly different lighting, and the text also zooms in, possibly meaning this was an unused 3D variant.
This variant would be re-animated for the China releases of the 2021 Disney films Luca and Encanto, and to commemorate Shanghai Disneyland's 5th anniversary, albeit with the normal scenery from the standard logo (with some minor changes), orange Chinese text for "Year of Magical Surprise" (奇妙连连惊喜一整年) on top of the castle when the arc draws in, and the flag's coat of arms replaced with the theme park's 5th anniversary logo (which consists of the castle inside a number 5).

yU+co website variant

Once Upon a Snowman (2020, Disney+)

The castle and backdrop are covered in snow. Snow slopes are also seen on both sides, the river is now ice and the text is blue and also covered in snow. After a second of the normal logo on screen, Olaf (voiced by Josh Gad) can be seen skiing on the right side, he then jumps up the slope and shouts "SKILL!" whilst forming the arc over the castle. He then lands on the slope on the left side and skis off screen.

Safety (2020, Disney+):

When the highest spire is revealed, snare drums and extra trumpet sounds are added to the fanfare to accompany it, as if it was played by a marching band.

Soul (2020, Disney+):

The logo plays as normal, but the fanfare is played in an off-key jazz fashion by Joe's band class, with a four-beat drum intro, noisy trumpets, squalling saxophones, and a tailgate trombone, ending with a crash of cymbals. The firework sounds are also removed again.

Flora & Ulysses (2021, Disney+)

After the logo is complete, it then turns into a comic book design, with the Disney text appearing before the arc is nearly drawn. Then it transitions to different comic book pages, segueing into the beginning of the film. Additionally, the logo's pre-comic transition uses brighter colors similar to the early 2006 variant, but with the Disney text instead.

Us Again (2021 short, closing)

The logo is placed on a neon sign, with the castle in pink, the text in yellow and the arc in green. The castle's design is also similar to the 1985 logo.

Cruella (2021)

The logo is in black-and-white, the sky is replaced with storm clouds with thunder brewing overhead (similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales variant) while the London city is seen at the top of the river (without the sailboat), and the text is in a crimson red color. When the flag is revealed, Cruella (played by Emma Stone) can be heard laughing quietly in the background.

Jungle Cruise (2021):

The castle lights are brighter and the river has a different texture with better reflection on the castle and text. The clouds and god rays in the logo are deleted, and the text is already formed and appears to be smaller than usual. The text and the arc are also both a little higher than they should be. After a few seconds, the camera zooms down to the river under the water, segueing to the opening scene. Instead of the regular fanfare, an orchestrated instrumental version of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica, composed by James Newton Howard, plays.

On Chinese prints, it's the same as the international version, but the same changes as the standard Chinese variant (minus the simplified water reflection, in which the castle and text are seen) are added as well.

Far from the Tree (2021 short, closing):

The logo is embedded in sand, and the curved line is drawn by Marie, the raccoon from the short. While she does this, her child appears from the left side of the screen while holding a shell in his mouth. After Marie finishes, the young raccoon drops the shell at the ending point of the curved line and follows her mother offscreen.

Cheaper by the Dozen (2022, Disney+):

The castle fades to a child's drawing surrounded by family pictures, transitioning into the opening credits.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022, Disney+):

The logo starts normally, but after the text (which is more transparent) appears, four lasers zap themselves onto the castle, changing parts of it into different "bootleg" parts of other castles from Disney movies and logos (including the Sultan's palace from Aladdin, Elsa's ice castle from Frozen, Prince Eric's castle from The Little Mermaid, and a colored version of the Incredibles 2 variant). The fanfare stops as soon as the first laser is fired. There are also pink lasers shining across the text, with a grid being seen for a few seconds.

Pinocchio (2022, Disney+):

The logo plays as normal, but as the star is about to form the arc, Jiminy Cricket (voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) floats down the right side of the logo, singing the last part of the fanfare, as in which, "When You Wish Upon A Star", the song that was a part of the fanfare, originated from the original 1940 animated film, before the camera pans down to reveal houses in Italy as the text disappears for the opening scene. Also, the logo cuts from black instead of fading in.

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022, Disney+):

The logo starts off normally, but the sky is brighter and parts of the castle are made out of wood. As the camera pans around the castle, the entire logo and landscape change drastically into stormy weather. The moon also appears in the sky, and the fireworks, arc and dust surrounding the text are all absent (similar to the Into the Woods, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Incredibles 2 variants). The music is also re-orchestrated by John Debney (who also did the 1985 logo's fanfare), based on Mark Mancina and David Metzger's work on the fanfare, and segues into a spooky tune after the first few bars. After the logo is complete, the text fades out and the camera pans down into the water, segueing into the opening scene. Also, a bell has been added to one of the towers of the castle.

Rogue: Not Quite One (2023 short):

The Disney castle is designed in the Simpsons art-style, with the Disney100 logo being separated to form "Disney Self-Congratulatory 100" via a man grunting, as the text "Self-Congratulatory" was added to the Disney100 logo, with "When You Wish Upon a Star" playing in the background, then it gets dumped, along with the Disney100 logo and the "Self-Congratulatory" text being blown away, on by a collection of Springfield buildings/landmarks that form the shape of the Disney castle via a man screaming by falling, as the sunset background turns into the same daytime background as the show, with "The Simpsons" in Waltography with the cast singing the show's title from the show's main theme song, therefore being a parody of the Disney100 logo. The animation is done by 20th Television Animation.

The Haunted Mansion (2023):

As the text gets drawn, thunder strikes. turning the logo black and white as a eery chord plays the final note.
